Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Science of Playwriting' is a rigorous and analytical exploration of the fundamental mechanics behind dramatic construction. Written by Moses L. Malevinsky, who applied his keen legal mind to the intricacies of the theater, this work treats playwriting not as a mysterious art form, but as a structured discipline governed by identifiable principles. Malevinsky proposes a systematic 'algebraic' approach to drama, seeking to provide a universal formula for the creation and evaluation of successful plays.The text provides an in-depth dissection of the essential elements of storytelling, including theme, emotion, plot development, and character motivation. By examining the underlying logic that makes a play resonate with an audience, Malevinsky offers writers a framework to refine their craft with technical precision. 'The Science of Playwriting' serves as both a historical cornerstone of dramatic theory and a practical guide for those interested in the architecture of the stage. It remains a valuable resource for playwrights, screenwriters, and literary critics who wish to understand the structural heart of theatrical storytelling and the evolutionary development of early twentieth-century dramatic technique.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
